NRL Auckland Nines - Top 10 Tries

Share on social media

There were more than 180 tries scored over the 2016 Downer NRL Auckland Nines weekend and NRL.com has selected their Top 10 of the tournament.

Parramatta rookie Bevan French was the tournament's top try-scorer, setting a new Nines record of eight tries over the two days. The Eels speedster had the crowd on its feet every time he touched the ball.

Eels teammate Semi Radradra was next on the list with six tries for the tournament, followed by Warriors centre Solomone Kata with five tries.

Now the Brisbane Broncos actually feature in no less than three tries, but unfortunately we only score in one of them! However, it was an acrobatic sensation from young gun Tom Opacic!

The other two related tries showcase Warriors skipper Shaun Johnson back to his jinking best after a broken leg, and former Broncos utility Matt Parcell stealing the game at the death for the Manly Sea Eagles...
